Seeing Luffy looking at him, Ain thought that he had already suspected Nami's identity.
But she and Nami had agreed not to tell anyone.
So even if Luffy looked at her like this, she said nothing and just pretended not to see it.
After staring at her for a long time and seeing that he didn't react, Luffy was helpless.
"Okay, okay, you still want to hide it from me, right?
Okay, I won't ask any more about your little secrets between women.
Eat quickly, according to my guess, we will reach the Conami Islands soon."
After saying that, he ignored the two women and started eating by himself.
The two women looked at each other and quickened their pace, finishing the food in a few bites.
Following Ain out of the cabin, Nami subconsciously looked around and observed the weather.
Then her little face suddenly changed, and she said in surprise:
"Hey, where are we going? If we are going to the Conami Islands, we have already deviated from our route!"
"Puff!!!"
Luffy, who followed the two girls, was so shocked that he sprayed the rice in his mouth.
He did not doubt what the genius navigator Nami said, and immediately took out the compass and the nautical chart to calculate.
"This shouldn't be the case. I calculated everything fine, so why did something go wrong?"
"Are you a navigator?"
Nami turned her head in surprise. It was the first time she saw a captain serving as a navigator.
Luffy's eyes did not move away from the nautical chart. He nodded irritably and admitted:
"Yes, there is no suitable person on board, so I have to take on the role myself."
"Oh." Nami nodded and stopped talking.
Luffy saw that she was so rude and didn't know how to come over to teach him, so he had no choice but to squat down and call her to his side.
"Nami, you said we went the wrong way, then look at where we are now?"
With just a quick glance, Nami accurately pointed out their current location.
"We've gone way off course here."
"Huh? Why are we here? This shouldn't be the case."
Luffy was scratching his head in confusion.
At this time, what happened here had attracted the attention of many people.
Binz came over and asked curiously:
"Captain, you were in command all along the Grand Line, but why did you go astray in the East Blue?"
Luffy's face turned red, and he took out a log pose with some embarrassment.
"I have this, so I just need to follow the needle.
Now I am given a broken compass, so it is inevitable that I will make mistakes."
Everyone was shocked, but they couldn't blame Luffy.
After all, in the marine, this thing was just a rough guide.
The main thing for these elite camp students was to learn combat, marine tradition and other courses.
"What should we do now? Should we turn around?"
Luffy asked at the right time.
He nodded, then silently turned his gaze to Nami beside him, and then smiled.
Nami took a step back in fear of his stare, pointed at herself in disbelief and asked:
"You don't want me to be your navigator, do you?
You're just handing over such an important position to a stranger?"
Patting her head skillfully, Luffy said solemnly:
"Miss Nami, congratulations, you are now an honorary marine"
"Hmph, thank you."
Nami rolled her eyes speechlessly.
However, she took the chart swiftly and began to command without hesitation.
After looking at each other, the other team members chose to trust the captain's arrangement and quickly began to adjust.
Luffy breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that his navigation skills were not good enough, so he came to the East Blue to find Nami.
Now when the two of them were compared, he could immediately tell the difference in their skills.
'Well, let her be a temporary navigator to get used to it, and then kidnap her after dealing with Arlong. '
He thought happily, just when he thought everything was over and was about to exercise on the deck.
A cry made him frown instantly.
"Captain, we found a warship in front of us on the right. There is a number 16 written on the sail. I guess it is the marine of the 16th branch!"
"16th branch? Coming from the Conami Islands?"
Gavin said in surprise.
As early as in Loguetown, Smoker had warned them that there was something wrong with the 16th branch.
Now the enemy's warships were actually coming from the direction of their target, which was problematic no matter how you looked at it.
Others were just suspicious, but Luffy was sure that there was something wrong with the rat.
He immediately cheered up and ordered the warship to move towards the other side.
The marine on the same 16th branch warship also discovered them.
The marines immediately found the rat who was still sleeping soundly in the bedroom and informed him that he had encountered a colleague.
"Don't panic, they are all marine, what are you afraid of? Wait for me to go out and take a look."
Scolding this cowardly fool, Nezumi put on his clothes and strode out.
When he came to the deck, he saw a warship without the logo of marine hq, blocking the way in front of his ship.
This instantly made Nezumi angry, and he quickly walked to the bow and scolded:
"I am Captain Nezumi of the 16th branch. Which branch are you from? Who gave you the courage to stop my warship?"
On the other side, Luffy looked at the wretched guy who was as his name suggested, with three pairs of whiskers shaking like a rat, and a sneer suddenly appeared on his face.
'Oh, I just happened to run into you.'
"Stop the ship. I am Luffy, the captain of the guerrilla force under Fleet Admiral Sengoku of the Marine Headquarters.
I now require you to board the ship for inspection. Please cooperate."
Luffy said this, but he didn't seem to wait for their cooperation. He directly asked the helmsman to approach and led his men to board the ship by force.
"You, you guys..."
When he heard that the other party was from the headquarters and was directly under the Fleet Admiral, Nezumi's ego immediately waned.
Moreover, these guys boarded the ship without waiting for his consent, which showed that they were not friendly.
Luffy jumped onto the 16th branch warship and waved his hand to have Nezumi and his group surrounded.
He walked forward with Ain, Cook and others, and still said rudely to Nezumi, whose marine rank was higher than his (Note: I check and its kind of true, Nezumi is a captain, while Luffy is Lieutenant commander, but Luffy is from HQ, while Nezumi is east blue captain) :
"Captain Nezumi, I am under the order of Fleet Admiral Sengoku to inspect the marines of the four seas.
Now I want to inspect your warships, do you have any objection?"
"I, I..."Nezumi felt a little guilty.
Luffy didn't wait for his answer and gave the order directly:
"Search, don't miss a single room, check carefully."
The guerrillas immediately scattered and went to search the cabin.
Nezumi was so scared when he saw this, how could he stand the inspection?
He not only got 10 million from Arlong, but also got a lot from other pirates he knew.
Now all the money is in the warehouse, it will be a disaster if it is checked.
"Wait, stop them for me!"
